1pMobile, as per my link above, us the cheapest option if you only use your phone occasionally. (i.e. f the number of minutes you'll use on outgoing calls each month plus the number of texts you'll send in that time doesn't exceed a total of 500).
Otherwise Lebara, which gets you unlimited calls and texts for just £5 per month offers a better deal:

I pay £14 a month with O2.....there's a message in this in that I went into contract with a new Galaxy.
After a year, I was flush and bought the phone out. 2 things resulted. I had been paying the finance plus 23 quid a month for the airtime - out of the finance, they dropped me to 14 quid for exactly the same airtime and data....so they had been ripping me off at £9 a month - before the finance package. Secondly, they tried charging me for insurance.....as I pointed out, the phone out of contract was covered by my home insurance. Their shop guy had a huge barney with head office in front of me, pointing out what they were intending/had been doing was illegal. He got me a credit back for 3 months worth of the so-called premium.

I bought a cheap mobile from Argos, put the accompanying SIM card in, and now get all incoming calls. As I've not registered with the SIM card provider, I can't make outgoing calls, but I pay nothing. This suits me as I only wanted it for receiving second-level-security codes from banks etc. when working online, I'm not interested in making outgoing calls. How long this will last I've no idea, been OK for a couple of months so far.
// Currently I’m on an O2 ‘classic payg’, 3p per min calls, 2p texts, no contract, as long as I lob in a certain sum (I think it’s £10 every 3 months) //
The 'no longer available to new customers' O2 Classic PAYG has no requirement for regular top-ups. The minimum top-up is £10 but the SIM will not expire provided you make a chargeable activity within a 6-month period, e.g. a 2p text every 6 months is enough to keep the account live.
